Hi,
While comparing the LilyPond gegerated output with the output of a
competitor program, I noticed that the LP outout is much 'heavier'.
See e.g., http://www.squirrel.nl/pub/xfer/lilsib.jpg .
The top line is from LilyPond, the bottom line is from a Sibelius
printout. I think the larger noteheads in combination with the thinner
lines make the score easier to read.
Is there a set of settings to make LP output lighter? Setting
line-thickness = \staff-space / 16
seems a good start, but I assume there's more to it.
If you look at a good score of anything that was printed before
the time of computers, you can see that Lilypond looks 'almost
like real music', and Sibelius looks 'like a computer' and 'not
like real music'.
I suggest that if it’s difficult to read you should just
increase the staff size - which will simply make everything bigger.
